It is known that in some U.S. states as well as in some other countries, the higher your income, the higher your taxes, while in others, the lower your income, the lower your taxes. The simple question I would like to ask you is this: which would you choose, to accept a job with high income in a where the cost of living is high and you pay high taxes, or go for a low paying job in a state where the cost of living is low and the taxes are low? After all, taxes never end.
I don't like the system of lower tax and lower pay, it create a lower class society where you struggle to make a living but when it's good pay and high tax, it goes around everyone, this create a standard environment that brings opportunities for everyone. With high pay high tax, people from other countries would want to come to your country to start a living and more money will likely flow into the state.
As a parent, I want my children to explore life and look beyond what is around them but staying in an environment where there is good standard of living, your children will grow to enjoy the benefit of true economy.
